A little while ago, the Ausmonauts beat Infected Space in shuttles.

Reception to that ranged from positive to unconvinced. "Anyone can do that. I'd be impressed if you did ISE."

Ok. Challenge Accepted.

ISE in T1 ships. Done.

Pretty sure we can manage shuttles next...

Assume it took a fair while though?

1 Hour, 48 Minutes.

You guys have WAY too much time on your hands.

Awesome job. Cryptic should be encouraged by efforts like this by adding a feature akin to challenge modes (from another MMO) - the community could then run against your time etc I think a special accolade, a title and perhaps something special like a bonus mission (like the one in Eta Eridani from collecting 10 drops from the daily) could be rewarded too.

Great work!

Would love to try something like this myself - although I'd prefer T2 ships so could use my Rhode Island again - I miss that little ship, and cannot WAIT to get the T5 version!

also then there would be some use for our old ships

Was so much fun! And yes, a title and accolade would be very nice.

Btw, if anyone should see a warp core floating around in ISE, could you please return it to my ship

yes it may take time but it is fun. In January of this year, myself and 4 other captains decided to do The Cure Space Normal in small ships. The team included 1 NX light escort, 2 Constitution class cruisers, 1 KDF DujHod Chariot and 1 Tal'Kyr Support Craft. Yes it did take a while to do, but in the end we won. I will say this. If you ever have the time and the people to do it, give it a try. It is a lot of fun.

Congrats to the Ausmonauts on their success with Infected Space Elite. That must have been a blast. Good luck on your shuttle mission version.

Congratulations guys
